Engllchman Owns Handbag Once
Property of Unfortunate Mary.
In the possession of Dr. A. F. Ger
main of Drlghton. England , Is a beau
\ tiful embroidered llttlo handbag. It
Is an Interesting rollc of a bygone
time , and figured In a famous scene.
When the unfortunate Mary , queen
of Scots , was led to execution this lit
tle satchel of violet velvet formed
part of the costume- she wore. It
contained a rare and costly handker
chief. As she passed to the block ,
Mary took the dainty handkerchief
out and handed the bag to her favor
ite attendant , Lady Jane Douglas. She
cherished It ever after as a memento
of her lamented queen. The llttlo
bag Is made moro Interesting and
valuable by the fact that Queen Mary
herself embroidered and made It. The
needlework Is very beautiful and rare ,
being peculiar to 'the time of the
beautiful young queen. Until recently
the bag has boon In the possession of
the Douglas family In Scotland , be
ing kept at Castle Dumfries among
the family heirlooms. A late Lady
Douplas presented It to a favorite
brother-in-law. Sir William Watklns
Vv'ynn , and this gentleman , realizing
the appreciation of Dr. A. P. Germain
for this Interesting relic of the un
fortunate Queen Mary , gave It to him ,
and it Is still In his possession. The
bag is prized very highly by Dr. Ger
main , and ho keeps It in a glass case ,
with a descriptive historical note at-
tachcd to It.
DO BEST WORK AT NIGHT.
Quiet Hours the Proper Time for In
tellectual Labor.
Prof. Victor Hallojieau of the Paris
Academy of Medicine declares that
the best Intellectual work can bo ac
complished between midnight and
dawn. "Tho true secret of long con
tinued , valuable brain work , " he says ,
"Is to cut the night In two. The
scholar , the Inventor , the financier , the
literary creator should bo asleep ovcry
( night at ton o'clock , to wake again at ,
| say two , In the morning. Three hours'
work , from two to five , In the absolute
tranquillity of the silent hours , should
mean the revealing of new powers ,
now possibilities , a wealth of Ideas un
dreamed of under the prevailing sys
tem. From eight to eight or 8:30 : sleep
again. Take up again the day's work ;
the brain will still bo saturated with
the mental fruits of the night vigil ;
there will bo no effort In putting Into
practice or carrying further what was
planned or begun those few hours be
fore. The habit may be hard to ac
quire , but mechanical means of waklnn
at first will Induce the predisposition. "
By Proxy.
He was a man with a largo rotund
personality , and he stood at the head
of a largo line of Impatient men , worn-
k. en and children who wore waiting for
" n chance to pay their fares and get
past the turnstile of the elevated railway -
1
way at Madison and Wabash , says the
Chicago Tribune.
He was searching leisurely In his
pockets for the necessary nickel , and
It wasn't In any of them. Finally ho
produced a flvo-dollar bill , which ho
slowly and methodically unfolded and
passed over to the monopolist insldo
thi ticket ofllco. "Dom his bastely
hide ! " fervently exclaimed a man with
a strong Tlpporary accent , half wny
down the line. "O , you mustn't talk
that way ! " said a sweet feminine
voice directly behind him ; "but thank
you very much ! "
Tobacco Smoke Poisonous.
It is often said that tobacco smoke
Is a powerful germicide. The com
position of tobacco smoke is complex ,
the principal constituents being oils of
a tarry nature. Nicotine Itself Is a
strong germicide , but the quantity cf
this poison In tobacco smoke is minute
The oil matter which accumulates in
a tobacco pipe is highly poisonous , but
does not contain any appreciable quan
tity of nicotine , the chief constituent
of residue being a very poisonous oil
known as pyrldlne. Tobacco smoke
contains a decided quantity of carbon
monoxide , which is a preservative and
which must possess germlcldal prop
erties. Recently It has been observed
that one of the principal constituents
accounting for the germlcldal prop
erties of tobacco smoke Is the power
ful antiseptic formaldehyde.
At the Literary Club.
"How did everything come off at
the literary last night ? " "Well , the
barbecued beef was tiptop , an' the
Brunswick stow couldn't bo beat
while the corn llcker had enough
beads on it to make a pearl necklace
look sick. " "Dut was there no lit
erary discussion ? " "Lemme see , now
I believe the president did hit the
vice president 'side the head with a
copy of Hunyan's 'Pilgrim's Prog
ress. ' " Atlanta Constitution.
Loaded.
The old man looked reflectively a
the brass tip of his wooden leg
"Then , " ho said , "tho surgeons took
me up and laid me carefully in the
ammunition wagon , and " "Hold on
captain , " said a listener. "You don'
mean the ammunition wagon. Yoi
mean the ambulance wagon. " But the
captain shook his head. "No , " he in
slsted ; "I was so full of bullets tha
they decided I belonged to the ammu
nltion wagon. "
Putting It Mildly.
"Yon resent that critic's opinions ? "
"Not at all. " answered Mr. Storming-
ton Harneo. "What I resent Is hla
egotistic presumption In considering
bis opinions to a i"Vl < > nt Importance
to warrant their public expr . 4oa. "
TRADED MAN FOR BLANKETS.
low Pugct Sound Indians Releaced
a Captive British Sailor.
To ( rnde n man for a roll of
ilnnkcts is a ralhor unusual pro
ceeding , and the trade in which ho
Igurcd as the man is a never to be
'orgottcu event in the lifo ofVil \ -
iam .Tarinan , who is 8G years old
uid once was "King Dodo" of Fugct
sound Indians. That was 50 years
ago , and "Blanket Hill , " as he is
called to this day , expects to reach
he century mark in years.
"Blanket Bill" mau-o'-wars-
was a - - -
uan on board a British frigate that
soiled into Puget sound water a
jreat many years ago. With a party
of other sailora he came ashore to
, rado with the Indians. The party ,
> ecamc separated and with a yell the
Ire-eating aborigines set upon the
main body of the British tars. All
reached the boat but Jarman , who
was captured and taken to the in-
; erior by the Indians. Ho fully ex
pected to be scalped while the fagots
mrned about him , but he made
friends with the chief and soon
found himself elevated to a high po
sition among the tribes. Before him
jvery one bowed.
After several years Hudson bay
traders heard that a white man was
iield in captivity among the Indians ,
md , bartering with the red men , sc-
: ured the British sailor upon the
payment of a roll of blankets.
But Jarman went back to live
among the Indians. Ife married a
squaw , or probably a good many
more than one , for he says he would
take his spouse back and trade her
for another whenever he got tired of
the same one. "Blanket Bill" at
tributes his long life to a plunge in
the sea every morning and the avoid
ance of spirits of all kinds. A pipe
is his only dissipation. And he
walks 11 miles into Bellingham ,
state of Washington , every little
while just for exercise.
GRAPES GROWN UNDER GLASS.
The grape of grapes for the table
is grown in Belgium , and under
glass. It is in no Arcadian rustic
spot that this ideal culture flour
ishes , but in the wideawake metro
politan suburb of Hoezlacrt , near
Brussels. Hero there is a whole re
gion of glass nothing but glass
over a wide vista. The spectacle is
one of the shows of the country for
amateurs and sightseers alike.
A good many lovers of table fruit
whose interest in the subject extends
no further than the dessert stand
will probably be surprised to learn
that it is from no native hothouse ,
but from Iloczlnert , that the great
fruilcrera of London , Paris , the
Riviera , Vienna , Berlin , St. Peters
burg , and , mirablc dictu , even New
York , receive the bulk of their win
ter supplies. Every Friday hundreds
of chests of choice fruit , admirably
packed , are dispatched to the United
States alone. The price at IIocz-
lacrt is a minimum of 15 pence a
pound on the vine , with five pence
'added ' for packing. The choicest
bunches are those that weigh about
'two ' pounds.
ACCOMMODATION.
"I was asked to find out when you
would pay this little account , " said
the collector , pleasantly.
"Really , " answered the debtor , "I
.am unable to enlighten you. How-
lever , there is a soothsayer in the next
( block who throws a. fit and reveals
jthe future at 50 cents a throw. "
, "I've no money to waste , " growled
'the collector.
"Just add the 50 cents to my account -
count , " continued the other , "for I
have curiosity on the point myself. "
EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.
After beyig injured by a bull of
savage temper , a. farmer was under a
doctor's carts fJr ( a considerable time ,
and thereby incurred a heavy bill for
medical attendance.
When he was almost well one of
his old friends who had called upon
him said ho congratulated liiin on
looking so well after such a long ill
ness.
"Looking well ! " echoed the farm
er. "I should be looking well.
There's been 'nearly $100 spent in
repairs on me lately , and I'm not
finished yet ! "
STATECRAFT.
"Tell the press censor to exercise
more than ordinary vigilance over
all the publications that come into
the palace , " said the czar.
"For any special reason , your
majesty ? "
"Yes. The fortune teller has
warned me that I am liable to hear

ICE CREAM DID IT.
He Cuts Out the Treat nnd She Cuts
Him Out In Return.
"Como early to-morrow evening
nnd wo will sit In the park , " she had
coyly said tis Walter hndo her n lov
ing good-night and went down the
stups.
Ho had replied with a fiinllo and a
nod. Ho was n young nnd guileless
man , and this was his first love , ex
plains the Now Orleans Plcnyuno. Ho
had never been buncoed.
The next day scorned never ending
to him , but finally the sun wont to bed
nnd Walter found a girl hanging on
his arm and headed for n park. Un
der the budding trees they sat down
to hoar the last songs of the robins before -
fore roosting high. Ho sat with hop
hand In his , and for ton minutes
neither spoko. Then Helen softly
breathed Into his ear :
"That must bo an ice cream parlor
across the street. "
"I think It's a beer saloon , " ho re
plied , ns a chill wont up his back.
"Dut ladles are going In there. "
"Yes , but It Is fashionable now
for ladles to go Into beer saloons. '
She sought to pull her hand tvway ,
and there was sllcnco for a moment.
Then she said :
"I can almost taste chocolate Ice
CIUUII1. "
"It Is onions you smell , " ho replied.
"Some ono Is cooking them for sup
per. "
She moved a few Inches nway from
him , and under tfio electric light ho
saw her eyebrows como together and
her nose point straight into the air.
"It seems to me that If I had n dish
of Ice cream " she softly began , but
as she paused ho broke In :
"You might have bilious colic bcforo
morning. "
"Mr. D'puy , will you have the kind
ness to escort mo homo ? "
"Certainly , my dear , but why this
hurry ? Perhaps the hand "
"Now at once , sir ! "
"Dut Helen "
"Mlsa Taylor , If you please. "
"Hut 1 thought wo came out "
"So wo did , sir , and wo have como
In , sir , and good-night , sir. I shall
not bo at homo to-morrow evening. "
Visits Goethe's Old House.
A young American on his first trip
to Europe writes from Frankfurt-on-
the-Maln : "You know nil about Heidel
berg , with Its dueling place , where the
visitor always comes 'Just too late * to
see an encounter ; Homberg , the Ger
man Saratoga ; Nauhelm and nil the
other Beautiful places near this city
which every tourist thinks ho must
visit.
Yon may know also the old Goethe
house In this city , which will always
have an additional charm for mo be
cause of my adventure there. I hap
pened to go through cost ono mark
at the same tlmo with a lot of per
sonally conducted young girls from
England.
When wo reached the room where
a little old spinet stood the loquacious
guide told the girls that it had boon
played upon by Fran Iluth Goethe and
by the poet himself , and that as n
special favor ho know It would bring
an additional tip ho would allow ono
of the party to play a few notes on
the Instrument.
The girls could not decide which
one should have the honor nor what
should bo played. 'Faust , ' 'Egmont'
and 'Mignon1 were under discussion ,
when I butted In and played a few
bars from , 'The Star-Spangled Banner. '
The girls didn't seem to recognize the
tune , and 1 have wondered ever since
i-as It their Ignorance , the quality of
the Instrument or possibly my play-

Time in European Nations.
The Gorman empire has n uniform
time , adopted April 1 , 1903 , the central
European time , so called , which Is ono
hour faster than the time of the
Greenwich meridian. The same stand
ard is In use in Austria , Hungary ,
Italy , Switzerland , Denmark , Norway
and Sweden.
The west European time Is the time
of the Greenwich meridian , and is
used in England , Holland , Belgium ,
Luxembourg and Spain. France , out
of national vanity , holds to the time
of Paris , both for herself and for
her colonies In Algiers and Tunis , only
nlno minutes faster than Greenwich
time.
The east European tlmo Is the aamo
as the time of St. Petersburg , which
Is 2 hours 1 ml mi to and 13 seconds
faster than Greenwich time. This
standard Is used In European Russia ,
Turkey In Europe , Romania and Bul
garia.
He Blew the Violoncello.
"Gentlemen , " recently said a German -
man professor , who was showing to
his students the patients In the asy
lum , "this man suffers from delirium
tremons. He Is a musician. It Is
well known that blowing a brass in-
ctrumont affects the lungs and throat
in such a way as to create a great
thirst , which has to bo allayed by
persistent Indulgence In strong drink.
Ilcnce , in the course of time , the dis
ease you have before you. "
Turning to the patient , the professor
ser asked :
"What instrument do you blow ? "
and the answer was :
"Tho violoncello. " Cleveland Lead-

"How did you make out with your
French while in Paris ? "
"Well or not very well. You see' I

Qualities of Character.
If you arc uncharitable , in
tolerant , If you lack generosity ,
cordiality , if you arc narrow
and bigoted , unsympathetic ,
small , and mean , you cannot
expect that generous , large-
hearted , noble characters will
tlock around you. If you ex
pect to make friends with large-
souled. noble characters you
must cultivate large-hearted-
ness , generosity , chanty , and
tolerance. One reason why so
many people have so few friends
is that they have so little to
give ' , and they expect so much.
A happy temperament , a desire
to scatter joy and gladness , to
be helpful to everybody , are
wonderful aids to friendship.
People who are moody and in
clined to be blue do not make
many friends because these are
qualities which repel rather
than attract.
You will be amazed to see
how quickly friends will Hock
about you just as soon as you
begin to cultivate attractable
and lovable qualities.
Justice and truth are ab
solutely essential to the high
est friendship , and we respect a
friend all the more because he
is just and true , even when it
hurts us and mortities us most.
We cannot help respecting
justice and truth because we
are built on their lines ; they
are a part of our very nature.
The friendship which shrinks
from telling the truth , which
cannot bear to pain one when
justice demands it , does not
command as high a quality of
admiration as the friendship
which is absolutely $ just and
truthful.
There is something inherent
in human nature which makes
us despise the hypocrite. We
may overlook a weakness in a
friend , which makes it hard for
him to be absolutely truthful ,
but if we ever detect him trying
to deceive us , we never have
quite the same contidence in him
again , and confidence is the
very basis of the highest friend
ship.
The friendships that last rest
more upon a solid respect ,
admiratoin , and gre'at con
geniality than upcn a passion
ate love. Where the love is so
great that it defeats justice and
truth , friends are more likely
to fall out. The strongest , the
most lasting , devoted friend
ships are those which are based
upon principle , upon respect ,
admiration and esteem. Suc

Vegetables or Meat ?
"Do vegetables feed the brain
sufficiently ? " is a question often
asked.
To this many a brainworker
will reply , "No. " So with them
it is a question of brains versus
beauty. Would you rather be
beautiful with little brains , or
brainy and ugly ? That is
something for each individual
to settle alone. Ruskin tried
vegetarianism tor three years ,
and iinaily gave it up , directing
that all work during that time
be destroyed. Gladstone tried
it three days and gave it up
Bismarck wanted to try it , but
never did. King Edward
thinks it good , but not for him
self. Many of our statesmen
have followed it for a while ,
but a few have stuck to it.
But from many a pretty girl' ;
standpoint , it clears the complexion -
plexion and does a great many
other things. It is a good diet
if followed reasonably. Ex.

ners for the home and another for

There must be no HelfishneBS al
home if one does not want the
boy or girl to grow up selfish. The
foundation of the beet manners is
a good heart of course , and n kindly -
ly feeling toward every one. With
out this they are but artificial ; ant
will not stand the test of the buffeting -
feting of the world and all its op
posing forces. Ex.
